CVE-2026-89482CVE-2026-89482
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nvme-tcp: do not accept C2HData based on blk_rq_payload_bytes() alone
Commit 25e5cb780e62 ("nvme-tcp: fix possible crash in write_zeroes
processing") established that blk_rq_payload_bytes() must not be read
without first checking blk_rq_nr_phys_segments(), and recorded the
result in nvme_tcp_setup_cmd_pdu() as req->data_len. The receive side
was left as it was.
The two differ for REQ_OP_WRITE_ZEROES, which has no physical segments
but a non-zero blk_rq_bytes(), so setup leaves req->iter untouched
while the receive gate lets a C2HData through and nvme_tcp_recv_data()
copies into whatever the previous command on that tag left there. The
driver-private area is zeroed only when the tag set is allocated.
Reproduced with a test target that leaves a residual iterator on a tag
and then sends a C2HData for a WRITE_ZEROES command on the same tag:
